Our MFM testers were impressed with its quick and easy folding with one hand and the clever mechanism to attach and remove newborn cocoons. They thought it was not as agile as other models with larger wheels when on rough terrain.
Comfort
A high-quality double pushchair 3 wheeler should be comfortable for both the baby and parent, with a supportive seat and hood that covers their heads. You can also find many different colours and fabrics, as well as accessories to match your personal style. Many models come with multiple position seats that recline and some even have an option to lie flat for babies. Some are also light making them easy to lift into the boot or to climb up and down kerbs.
When you are looking for a double-seater, look out for extra features that make your journey more comfortable with soft suspension or an extra-large basket. Some models feature a clever frame that can expand widthways to accommodate the second seat, which means you can fit them through narrow doors and are easier to maneuver in rough terrain. Others have a neat, standing fold that takes up less room for storage between uses, and some include an rucksack that can be used for transporting the buggy.
The Roma Gemini is a good example of a side-byside buggy that is larger than a single buggy, but still feels capable enough to be used in theme parks and cities. They are also typically more easy to move to and from kerbs than some other twin-seaters, thanks to their evenly weight distribution. They can be used by babies up to four years of age. Some models allow you to attach carrycots or car seats to prolong their lifespan.
Some even allow for a trio of children by incorporating a buggy board for older children who are mobile (UPPAbaby Vist V2 Double). It's important to remember that although the majority of manufacturers stipulate the maximum weight for each seat and perhaps the frame's total weight but it's not possible to know how much your children will increase in weight until they reach toddler age.
You can decide whether a triple wheeler pushchair is right for you by trying it out. This will allow you to discover how easy it is with two children inside.

Safety
A double pushchair with 3 wheels will give you more stability than a model with four wheels which makes it more secure if you regularly walk in the countryside. Regular pushchairs have small wheels that can become clogged with grass, sticks and mud. This makes them difficult for you to steer. A double pushchair with 3 wheels has large rear wheels which take up the majority of the space. You are less likely to run into anything.
